I am not an expert on this.  But there are one or two resolutions
built into the hardware's video BIOS that X can use if nothing
else works.  I used to see this a lot. On most Linux distributions
you get an X config program you can use to try all the different
settings.  Not so easy on an embedded system.

Perhaps your best bet (aside from someone who's been there stepping
in) is to read the what X logs when it tries to start and see what
it complains about.  Basically it starts with a long list of 
resolutions and depths and tosses out the ones your server doesn't
have, tosses out the ones your monitor doesn't support, tosses
out the ones your video chip doesn't support...and that's
what you're left with.

All that stuff should be supplied with PeeWee.  If you go to the
        Create Custom Kernel Package -->
area you can 
        Extract all kernel sources ...
and then your problem is to make sure your compiler uses that 
set of headers and not the usual ones on your system.
